"Hello, Praea." There's only one being on Earth who calls Sloan Jordan by that name - her biological mother, a demon named Kasyade. So why did she answer Sloan’s best friend’s phone? When Sloan reaches Adrianne Marx’s apartment to investigate, she finds evidence of abduction. The reason? Ransom. The price? Sloan’s unborn daughter, the most powerful angel in all of history. But hell can’t rival the fury of an angry mother protecting her child, and until the baby is born, her incredible power is Sloan’s to wield.

They say the best things come to those who wait, and no one hopes that's true more than Special Operations Commander Nathan McNamara. For over a year, he's put his life, his career, and his mother's hopes for more grandchildren on hold to dive headfirst into a world he never knew existed. A world full of angels, demons, and enough sexual frustration to crack the Pope. But all that is supposed to be behind him, and his future looks bright and full of possibilities. That is, until a familiar chill ripples the atmosphere - and a supernatural thunder rumbles over the mountains.

Warren Parish is literally about to go to hell and back to protect his daughter, but first, he must save her from an even closer danger - heaven. The council of angels has decreed Iliana must be brought to Eden to be made a seraph - an angel frozen as a child. And though it means Warren can finally be with her, she will never grow up. She will never access her power. And she will never have the life he sacrificed everything to give her. Time is running out. He has until her first birthday to bring her to Eden. If not, the guardians will be sent for her.

The mission was supposed to be simple: Get in. Save the girl. Get the hell out. But Warren Parish knows nothing is simple with demons involved, and storming the gates of Hell will be no exception. An innocent woman is trapped in Nulterra, but this journey is so much more than a rescue mission. Along with his new enchanted sword capable of killing angels, it seems the demons have forged another powerful object: a magical stone that can grant him what he wants most in all three realms - a life on Earth with his daughter.

Sergeant Warren Parish is a dangerous man - in more ways than his military training would explain. Nowhere in the world is this clearer than war-torn Iraq, where his “special skill set” is crucial on more than one deadly occasion. When a new enemy arises out of the ashes of southern Baghdad, Warren’s unit must rely on the help of an unlikely ally: private military contractors from Claymore Worldwide Security. With them is a woman. Skilled. Sexy. And absolutely lethal. It doesn’t take long for Warren to realize her set of superpowers might even rival his own.

The Archangel of Death is the master of taking human life. But keeping mortals alive? Not exactly Azrael's forte. For thousands of years, Azrael’s greatest enemy has been silent. Leaving him in relative peace for the first time since the great angel war. Now that silence has been broken, and the Morning Star has returned with a dangerous ultimatum: Azrael can join, or watch everything he loves be destroyed. Two lives hang in the balance - Azrael’s beloved human wife, Nadine, and their unborn, part-angel son...Warren.

And they are playing dangerously dirty to get what they want.

Publisher's Summary
After stopping a serial killer and shutting down an interstate human trafficking ring, Sloan Jordan is ready for a break. But back at home in Asheville, her problems have only just begun.
The supernatural world has taken an interest in her, and strange things are happening. Her powers are multiplying, she's plagued by vivid nightmares, and a deranged young woman, babbling an unknown language, has been detained by police. The only clue to her identity - Sloan's name carved into her arm.
If that wasn't enough, the FBI has launched a full-scale investigation into her private life, believing Sloan might not be as innocent as she claims.
With her boyfriend, Warren Parish, deployed with the Marine Corps, Sloan is left in the protection of Detective Nathan McNamara. And their complicated friendship is about to be tested. Sloan has a secret...one that could turn even Nathan against her forever.

Another fantastic story!
Brittany Pressley does another fantastic job narrating! How is it possible that each book can be better than the last? I love this series and if you haven't read it yet you need to! Sloan, Nathan and Warren are back along with some new characters. Surprises are in store along with answers to some questions from the past book. I couldn't put it down and read it straight through, then listened to it all over again on audible. Once again Elicia Hyder had wowed me with her talents and spun another awesome tale of the paranormal, love, jealously, action, adventure, the fight of good and evil, friendship, family and more. You can't go wrong here.

...
good narration and I'm enjoying the series so far.
Only think I would say is, I feel like theres an elephant in the room. Books 2, 3 and 4 I've been waiting for someone to address what seems to me a glaringly obvious "plot hole" (for lack of a better word) with Sloane and Warren's connection that's been skipped over, really don't know how to explain without giving away spoilers for those who haven't read the series yet so I'm just going on to book 5 and assume that at this point it's just going to be brushed over and forgotten which is kinda frustrating/disappointing.
